Anyone have any experience using this as grease on weapon bolts/moving high stress parts? I want to sub it for Tetra-Gun and Super Lube.

Not sure if I would use it in high heat / stress applications. Works great for water and pump gaskets.

I'd avoid WD40. It's purpose in life is as a [W]ater [D]isplacer to flush water out of places that is harmful to metal parts. But I also use it to strip grease off bike chains. Whatever lubricant the knife had might have just been flushed out of it. I would use the penetrating oil for frozen bolts as recommended then try to get as much of that off as possible since you probably need to re-grease it which won't be easy. Try to work grease or a dry lube back into the sliding surfaces. The penetrating oil residue will probably thin the first applications of grease or lube, you may need to repeat. I'd avoid WD40.

good question J-man and to give you a honest answer i really don't know because i have never used Hoppe's Lubricating Oil on nothing but guns, but i am not saying that if the only thing i had was hoppe's i would use it just to see what kind of it would do on my knives,wish i could give you a better answer but that's all i can tell you,Thanks for the question.

I only use rem oil for inside the barrel, and the seals. And very sparingly. This lube is OK for the exterior, but not recommended for break barrel guns.

Been using this along with equivalent lubes on my HK compacts and Glock family of guns. I do not overlube though and had experienced no problems.

Thou shall oil thine air inlet daily with Air Tool Oil and Grease but once a month... Grease? Yes. The tiny ball bearing at the front of the gun, just beneath the anvil (where the 1/2" socket articulates to the tool) is a grease port that fits a "Mini" or "Needle" air tool grease gun. Just a dab will do before it back flows out of the port. Remember, you're greasing an air tool, not the ball joint of a semi truck. [The AIRCAT tools require the minimum standards below to keep your tool in good working condition. Grease/ Oil AIRCAT and NITROCAT Twin Hammer: Use Lithium or bearing grease. One pump every few weeks is all you need.} (quote from the Air Cat site). I hope you guys found this info helpful and remember, We Screw, We Nut, and We Bolt! :)

My husband says get a penetrating oil, WD40 is only a coating, he says a penetrating oil is used to loosen up frozen bolts. they sell it at home depot.He said that the lubricant the shop put on the multi -tool has probably dried up.He's a smart cookie, I'd take his advice :)

Definitely not a problem. I've used this stuff for 4 years. I realized very quickly that in most cleaning situations I can use just a little of the product. I'll soak the inside of the barrel and let it sit. Everywhere else just gets a wipe down. If I do an indepth cleaning I might use a little more on the firing pin and wipe it off really good. I remove any oil reside with dry worn out cotton shirts and reapply one tiny little dot / dab of oil on one contact point and spread it to the other contact points with my finger or cue-tip. I use VERY little to accomplish this. It's not good to leave any part of your gun "oily" as that is a place for grit/grime/carbon to build up rapidly. Definitely not a problem.

I can't really tell you for sure if it's the detergent or a non-detergent oil. It works great it cleans up easy I use an all natural plant-based substance with no chemicals called gunzilla to do my cleaning.. yes it can lubricate and protect but on my guns I use hoppes to lubricate. Now when I get into more of my expensive weapons like my colt M or Sig Sauer I will use Ballistol as a cleaner protectant and lubricate because it leaves a Teflon coating on the metallic parts . On the rifle I just spray it down the barrel let it run around in a down position and get my bore snake once or twice I push it through and I'm done with the barrel that's it. easy it cleans with the Ballistol and the bore snake. I hope I was able to help you.

i wouldn't, they make a bore cleaner also. best lube i have ever used though.

No this is is a heavy oil only. I use it on the bolt carrier of my AR. It has no cleaning properties.

I don't know. I bought it to use on a 0 turn mower fittings. Seems to be a very good heavy duty grease.

Michael, I understand the chamber lube is designed for springer use. However, I don't see any harm in using it on an air piston rifle for barrel cleaning and pellet lubrication (if you choose to do this). To initially clean a barrel, I use a 1/8" wooden dowel rod for my .177" barrel. Over the tip I place small pieces of cotton padding (Like women use for make-up removal. I get ~80 per pack at the local dollar store and cut each patch into a bunch of smaller pieces) to make a snug but not too tight fit. I run those through the barrel (starting where you load the pellet) until they come out pretty clean. Then, I put a drop or so of chamber lube oil down the barrel and continue running cotton patches through it. A bunch of them. I keep checking the barrel until it is absolutely clean. Spotless clean with no junk residue on the white cotton patches. Once the barrel is clean, consider cleaning and lubricating the pellets. I didn't at first and after ~ 75 shots the barrel was pretty dirty. So, I cleaned it again. Spotless. And, I washed the pellets. Put 250 or 500 in a plastic cup with hot washer and dishwashing liquid soap. Swish the soap around some, and pour the pellets into a strainer (another find at the local dollar store), rinse well, and dry. To dry, I leave mine in the strainer, place in direct sunlight for a few hours to dry ... shifting the pellets around several times to ensure all the water is drained from the pellets, and put the pellets into a small plastic container (or back into the original container). On the inside of the top of lid, I put two drops of the chamber lube oil, close the lid and roll the pellets around inside the container. Done. Shoot. Enjoy. No dieseling. Barrel stays clean and very lightly lubricated. Don't know that this improves accuracy (I'm still working on breaking in the gun), but it sure keeps the fingers and barrel clean. Hope this helps. ...

No. I use marine outboard grease. You can use most any grease but traxxas sells small tubes of grease. Oil is too thin. Do not cake the grease in.just give a good coat to all parts.

This will mix with exiting grease in a bearing or other lube point. It is very thick and stays in place for a long time.

I have used quite a few different things, and find that grease seems to work best. The grease I used is some old bicycle grease I had lying around. I believe that Kershaw uses Tri-Flow grease, but any multi-purpose grease would probably work.

It is fantastic stuff, but the speedo cables that I take out are covered in grease. If your speedo cable needs lubed you need to take the whole thing out and grease it there is no other way.
